Two experiments examined the retrieval process from secondary memory. It is argued that the difference in reaction time between the primary and secondary memory conditions in a memory scanning task represents the time taken to retrieve information units from secondary memory. Previous work by Conway and Engle (1994) suggested that this process is independent of the amount of retrieved information. We replicated their finding, that large sets are activated into primary memory as fast as small sets. Variation in the trial presentation form and the length of the delays allowed an estimate of the duration of the retrieval process from secondary memory at approximately 200 msec. It is argued that the process of retrieval is a bottom-up, automatic process, which is triggered by the appearance of the set cue. |
